Friends, a thought as the world keeps finding new ways to be terrible:
Create love first. As you're preparing to fight the hatred, start by doing one small act of love each day. For other people, or for yourself. We do need to fight, but we cannot let ourselves forget Love.

The Disappearing Music
Hauntology all sped up, the story structure of Rashomon, historical tomato soup.
I wrote a thing(!) about how music as we know it might be disappearing, the story structure of "Rashomon" compared to its short story inspiration "In A Grove" (and what that teaches us), and as usual, a smattering of random rabbit holes.
